Dell EMC Networking switches support authentication of network users and
switch administrators via a number of methods. Management access to the
switch is via telnet, HTTP, SSH, or the serial console (SNMP access is
discussed in the SNMP Commands section). To ensure that only authorized
users can access or change the configuration of the switch, the administrator
can require that administrative access be authenticated.
